Take a really good look at the sprockets, dowel pin and cam shafts on the jumped side.
They have a nasty tendency to crack cam shafts when the cam stops and the sprocket keeps pulling the dowel pin forward.
Look at the piston tops from the impact of the valves. It sometimes break the crown of the piston or deform it so it scrapes the cylinder.
Get new cylinder head bolts since they are torqued so hard that I wouldn't dare to reuse old ones.
Remove oil cooler lid and reseal and replace coolant thermostat.
Reglue the rubber gasket on front timing cover since it has been several cases where the rubber came loose and got sucked into the timing belt or buy a new timing cover with a redesigned gasket.
Buy two new valve covers that comes with the gaskets and o-rings.
